Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire Leader 5m 0.48mm 14kg Black

Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire Leader — Bite-Proof Flexibility in a Matte-Black Finish

The Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire gives you the suppleness of a braid and the tooth-proof toughness of steel — all wrapped in an abrasion-resistant Co-Polyamide coating that keeps corrosion at bay session after session.

Silky-Soft Construction That Knots and Crimps with Ease

Forty-nine individual strands of high-carbon stainless steel are woven in a 7×7 configuration to produce a wire that bends, coils, and handles like a premium monofilament leader. It ties cleanly with standard knots and seats perfectly in crimping sleeves, so you can rig confidently on the bank or boat without needing specialist tools.

Co-Polyamide Coating for Long-Term Durability

The matte-black Co-Polyamide sleeve does more than hide glare — it creates a barrier against saltwater, abrasive gravel, snags, and the general wear that degrades bare wire. The finish stays intact under repeated flexing, so the 5 m spool goes further and lasts longer than uncoated alternatives.

Choose the Right Variant

The range spans five breaking strains to match the size of your quarry and the weight of the lures or rigs you are running. All variants are 5 m spools with the same 49-strand Co-Polyamide-coated construction.

• 0.40 mm / 6 kg (13 lbs) — ultralight wire for perch, small pike, and drop-shot or small jig rigs

• 0.48 mm / 14 kg (30 lbs) — mid-range all-rounder, well suited to pike and zander with medium lures, jigs, or dead-baits

• 0.60 mm / 17 kg (37 lbs) — heavier pike and large zander, bigger plugs and live-bait setups

• 0.70 mm / 24 kg (53 lbs) — large pike, catfish traces, and heavy rigs where extra insurance is needed

• 0.78 mm / 34 kg (75 lbs) — maximum-strength option for trophy pike, big catfish, or saltwater toothy species
